Redskins Released Te Chris Cooley

Coach Mike Shanahan suggested Cooley requested his release because the nine-year veteran wants a starting job. It's likely a moot point, however. Due nearly $4 million as a backup tight end/fullback, Cooley was squarely on the roster bubble heading into cut-down weekend. A major injury question mark coming off a season ruined by knee problems, Cooley is unlikely to accrue reliable fantasy value no matter where he lands. Aug 28 - 1:54 PM
